Huh? Of course the rent can't be terminated within what is said on the contract/agreement. If the rentee breaks the agreed rules, renter can terminate the rent. Pretty simple.

I don't know about american legal system, but I think someone would shout "racism" and that clause on TOS would be taken off. In my opinion, everyone should be able to pick their customers, so I think that they should be within their rights to do that. But that is just my opinion. And since we are on american forum, I want to make clear that my opinion has nothing to do with racism. That is just a reply to his extreme example, it would have been the same if he had used any other segment of customers.

 

I can agree on your last notion, that is how it should be.


If you agree with the last part, we are just arguing over whether the courts have enough foresight to interpret consumer protection laws in these cases such that the companies would not have a right to withdraw access just based on a TOS clause.

I hope one of these kind of cases does go to court and apply the same rights as physical media to digital media.
